Silent suicide: The fatal combination of old age, loneliness and loss

[emmaverybo]

4. Important post. I have lost two friends, older men, to suicide. Senior males living alone are

in an at-risk suicide group. The may have health and economic issues, a double whammy, while
their network of support has dwindled. Sometimes the tipping point is just one thing—loss of job,
eviction, bad health news.

I applaud you seniors who have worked hard on your emotional and physical resilience, but you may not realize this demographic is at more risk by some accounts than any other.
